2018 Autism Awareness Blog Hop - Newton's Nook Designs Sponsored

We are joining Veronica Zalis and tons of other amazing stampers to help raise autism awareness! We hope you will help us spread the word and follow along with us. There are going to be TONS of fun prizes too - including a $25 store credit from Newton's Nook Designs!

To learn more about this hop and see a complete list of sponsors and prizes, please visit this blog post by Veronica Zalis here.

So for my card today, I used various Newton's Nook Designs products which I will link as I go. I was looking for a positive and inspirational sentiment for this hop. I chose the You Lift Me Up sentiment from the recent release, Uplifting Wishes and heat embossed it in white. The text does blend into the clouds, in photos it's a bit hard to see.

I cut a cloud border out of cardstock using a die from the Sky Borders Die Set. Then inked my clouds using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink along with my die cut (stencil).

WOW! Here is why I am awestruck..and have a big smile on my face---What a wonderful crafting community we have and the impact that we can make together. I am so proud! Veronica and all the sponsors- THANK YOU!

So cute! I love this initiative! After homeschooling my 5 children for 27 yrs, I took a job as an EA/TA to a 7yr old boy who was on the autism spectrum. He also had FASD. I was with him for 3 years and LOVED it all! Thank you for bringing forward more awareness of the awesomeness of these children.

I would like to say how much I appreciate that you are participating in this. My son is 12 and he has Aspergers syndrome. He also has aggressive ADHD and it was hard to get the autism diagnosis and therefore to get it treated. This is a wonderful way to raise awareness

What a SWEET CARD! My son has Aspergers & ADHD & is on the higher end of Autism scale. He LOVES Batman even at 26! LOL He'd LOVE this SWEET CARD TOO! I am ALWAYS looking for images for him for cards! BEAUTIFUL WORK!!! ;)

Thank you for helping bring awareness to autism. I have a daughter who has Aspergers she is 25 now and still my extended family don't understand. For some reason they expect that she one day will magically be doing what a typical 25 year old would be doing. Sadly it brings more tears the older she gets.Love your card. Wonderfully done.Have a blessed day!Kimberly

Your card is SO beautiful and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for participating in this blog hop to help raise awareness for autism!!!! I have 2 young boys both with autism and every day is a challenge. However, I would not change them for anything in this world, they are perfect:)

Another mama with a beautiful 30yo son with Autism and a 28yo daughter that teaches Special Ed with a true passion! So very proud of them both, and grateful to you getting this blog hop going! Sporting my blue today, and have my front porch blue bulbs glowing! Fun card by the way!!

Such a beautiful card! I love the pairing of that new sentiment with Winston in the airplane! So perfect! The hearts on the banner are adorable too! Thank you for hopping along with us to spread awareness about Autism! -Jen {Newton's Nook Designs}
